Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to an electronic device in which a plurality of circuit boards are electrically connected to each other by a flexible flat cable.
  • Patent Literature 1 discloses a technique relating to a flexible flat cable (hereinafter abbreviated as an “FFC”).
  • a differential data transmission scheme may be used in a case where signals of a great information volume, such as video signals, are transmitted.
  • the LVDS is a technique that realizes high-speed digital interface, and used, for example, in a case where video signals are transmitted between circuit boards in a display apparatus.
  • the transmission rate of the LVDS is several hundred Mbps per channel.
  • display panels of higher resolution are available. For example, there is a display panel having about 4000 ⁇ 2000 pixels (hereinafter referred to as a “4k2k panel”).
  • a display apparatus having such a high-resolution display panel the information volume of an image is greater than with a conventional display apparatus, and therefore the transmission volume of video signals becomes greater than with the conventional display apparatus. Accordingly, with such a display apparatus, even when the LVDS is used for transmitting video signals, it is difficult to suppress an increase in the number of signals (i.e., the number of channels) required to be transmitted. Then, when the number of signal lines (i.e., the number of channels) included in one FFC is increased in order to address the increase in the number of signals, various restrictions and difficulties may arise in designing circuit boards.
  • the number of signal lines (i.e., the number of channels) included in one FFC can be reduced.

This LPF may attenuate high frequency signals flowing through the FFC. This capacitance becomes greater in proportional to the contact area between the signal surface of the FFC and the metal material. As the capacitance is greater, the attenuation amount of the high frequency signals flowing through the FFC tends to increase.

  • the area of signal surface 207 of FFC 200 being in contact with chassis unit 101 of the display panel formed by metal is desirably the smallest as possible. Accordingly, the number of creases 210 provided to FFC 200 is preferably smaller, and the width of the fold-back is preferably also smaller.
  • FIG. 5A is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A in FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 5B is a plan view of a portion around FFC 200 of display apparatus 100 according to the first exemplary embodiment in a partially enlarged manner.
  • FIGS. 5A and 5B are a cross-sectional view and a plan view showing the state where FFC 200 is connected to signal circuit board 110 and TCon board 120 .
  • FIG. 5A shows chassis unit 101 of the display panel, and does not show the display unit.
  • FFC 200 electrically connecting between signal circuit board 110 and TCon board 120 is disposed on chassis unit 101 of the display panel.
  • the length of FFC 200 is set to be longer than spaced-apart distance Wb between signal circuit board 110 and TCon board 120 . Accordingly, to FFC 200 having its ends 208 respectively connected to signal circuit board 110 and TCon board 120 , stress toward the center from both ends 208 is applied by the elastic force of FFC 200 . This stress serves as force pressing creases 210 of FFC 200 against chassis unit 101 of the display panel.
  • creases 210 of FFC 200 are pressed against chassis unit 101 of the display panel.
  • FFC 200 is in contact with chassis unit 101 of the display panel, with the fold-backs of creases 210 being at interval We which is shorter than interval Wa between creases 210 . That is, FFC 200 is disposed such that interval We of contact portions of the fold-backs of creases 210 and chassis unit 101 becomes shorter than interval Wa between adjacent creases 210 .
  • shield surface 206 is convex-shaped
  • the FFC electrically connecting signal circuit board 110 and TCon board 120 is set to have a length substantially equal to spaced-apart distance Wb between connector 111 and connector 121 without having any creases 210 .
  • the FFC is less likely to be brought into contact with chassis unit 101 of the display panel and hence ideal.
  • the length of the FFC may be varied, and the FFC being shorter than spaced-apart distance Wb between connector 111 and connector 121 may be manufactured.
  • Such an FFC cannot be used for display apparatus 100 .
  • the FFC must be longer than spaced-apart distance Wb between connector 111 and connector 121 .
  • FFC 200 is set to be longer than spaced-apart distance Wb, and to be provided with creases 210 .
  • Wb spaced-apart distance
  • the region projecting in an arc-shaped manner toward the back surface side originating from creases 210 is formed between crease 210 and crease 210 , and the fold-back of crease 210 is pressed against chassis unit 101 of the display panel. Accordingly, with display apparatus 100 , by being supported by creases 210 , FFC 200 can be kept in a stable state on chassis unit 101 of the display panel.
  • wire harness 300 is disposed at the position of crease 210 of FFC 200 , whereby crease 210 is clamped between chassis unit 101 of the display panel and wire harness 300 .
  • wire harness 300 may be fixed to chassis unit 101 by adhesive tape 400 or the like.
  • the force pressing crease 210 against chassis unit 101 of the display panel is applied by wire harness 300 , and crease 210 of FFC 200 is prevented from floating upward from chassis unit 101 . Accordingly, FFC 200 can be kept on chassis unit 101 in more stable state.
  • FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the relationship between the frequency of signals flowing through FFC 200 provided to display apparatus 100 according to the first exemplary embodiment and the attenuation amount.
  • the horizontal axis indicates the frequency of signals (GHz).
  • the vertical axis indicates the attenuation amount of signals (dB), and shows that as the position is lower (as the negative value is greater), the attenuation amount is greater.
  • the graphs shown in FIG. 6 are a collection of results of experiments in which signal circuit board 110 and TCon board 120 are electrically connected to each other with FFC 200 having a length of about 400 mm, and the amplitude ratio between input signals and output signals is measured while varying the frequency of the signals transmitted through FFC 200 .
  • FIG. 6 shows graphs Q, R 1 , and R 2 for comparison with graph P representing the experimental result based on the structure according to the present exemplary embodiment.
  • graph P is a graph showing the relationship between the frequency of signals flowing through FFC 200 and the attenuation amount, in the case where five creases 210 are provided to FFC 200 at an interval of about 50 mm, with fold-back width Wd of each crease 210 being set to several mm (about 5 mm), and the five creases 210 are brought into contact with chassis unit 101 of the display panel with the structure similar to that described above.
  • Graph R 1 is a graph showing the relationship between the frequency of signals flowing through FFC 200 and the attenuation amount, in the case where no creases 210 are provided to FFC 200 and FFC 200 is caused to have a “sag”. Further, in FFC 200 , a continuous region having a length of about 200 mm is brought into surface contact with chassis unit 101 of the display panel using the elastic force of FFC 200 .
  • Graph R 2 is a graph showing the relationship between the frequency of signals flowing through FFC 200 and the attenuation amount, in the case where no creases 210 are provided to FFC 200 and FFC 200 is fixed to chassis unit 101 of the display panel by an adhesive tape having a length of 200 mm.
  • a broken line represents the base line showing the lower limit of the attenuation amount that does not substantially influence the image displayed on the display unit of display apparatus 100 . Accordingly, from the graphs of FIG. 6 , it can be seen that, when the attenuation amount is greater than the base line (when a graph is positioned lower than the base line), the image displayed on the display unit may be influenced in any manner; and when the attenuation amount is smaller than the base line (when a graph is positioned higher than the base line), the image displayed on the display unit is not substantially influenced.
  • graph P will be described. As shown in FIG. 6 , comparing graph P and graph Q against each other, graph Q is slightly greater in the attenuation amount than graph P.
  • the difference between the experimental result represented by graph P and the experimental result represented by graph Q is attributed to the difference in the contact area between FFC 200 and chassis unit 101 of the display panel.
  • the width of the fold-back provided to crease 210 is several mm (about 5 mm).
  • the width of the fold-back provided to crease 210 is about 40 mm. From a comparison between graph P and graph Q, it can be seen that the attenuation amount becomes smaller as the contact area between FFC 200 and chassis unit 101 is smaller.
  • the attenuation amount does not fall below the base line (the graphs are positioned higher than the base line). Therefore, it is considered that the structure used at the experiment of graph P and the structure used at the experiment of graph Q pose substantially no problem in displaying the image. Accordingly, it is considered that the acceptable width of the fold-back provided to crease 210 is up to about 40 mm (posing substantially no problem to the displayed image).
  • creases 210 are provided to FFCs 200 electrically connecting between signal circuit board 110 and TCon board 120 , and FFCs 200 are disposed at display apparatus 100 such that the fold-backs provided to creases 210 are discretely in contact with chassis unit 101 of the display panel.
  • the contact portions between FFC 200 and chassis unit 101 are discretely disposed, and the contact area is relatively reduced.
  • signals which are transmitted and received between the circuit boards are high-frequency signals (several GHz)
  • the attenuation amount of the high frequency signals while being transmitted through FFC 200 can be reduced.
  • the width of the fold-back provided to each crease 210 is desirably as narrow as possible. However, it cannot physically be “0”.
  • the lower limit of the width of the fold-back provided to crease 210 is determined based on the physical property or the like of the material of FFC 200 . From the foregoing, though the width of the fold-back provided to crease 210 is about 5 mm to 40 mm herein, the present exemplary embodiment does not limit the width of the fold-back provided to crease 210 to such values.
  • an electronic device includes: a first circuit board on which a first circuit is mounted; a second circuit board on which a second circuit is mounted; a supporter; and a flexible flat cable.
  • the flexible flat cable is disposed on the supporter and connects the first circuit board and the second circuit board to each other.

  • the flexible flat cable may have a plurality of creases.
  • the flexible flat cable may be disposed such that an interval between adjacent ones of contact portions is smaller than an interval between adjacent ones of the creases, each of the contact portions is a portion where the crease is in contact with the supporter.

  • measures for providing a clearance gap between the supporter and the FFC are taken, for example by supporting the FFC with a resin clamper or the like, or inserting an insulating member such as a sponge between the supporter and the FFC.
  • measures may be taken by using a double-sided shield type FFC provided with shield layers for shielding electromagnetic noises at respective opposite surfaces, or a micro-coaxial cable.
  • such measures are not desirable, because they may invite an increase in the number of components of the electronic device or in the cost of the components.
  • creases 210 provided to FFCs 200 are in contact with chassis unit 101 to thereby support FFCs 200 . Therefore, without employing the structures of the conventional techniques, FFCs 200 can be kept on chassis unit 101 in a stable state while surface contact between FFCs 200 and chassis unit 101 is prevented. Furthermore, the contact portions between FFCs 200 and chassis unit 101 are discretely disposed, and the contact area is also relatively small. Therefore, even when signals which are transmitted and received between the circuit boards are high-frequency signals (several GHz), the attenuation amount of the high frequency signals while being transmitted through FFC 200 can be reduced.
